EGR Delete

When doing an egr delete what route do most of you guys choose, and why?

I have always removed them and installed block off plates.

Or I guess you can just unplug it I hear people are doing. Does this method have advantages besides its much less invasive?

The removal and install of block off plates is the better and more permanent solution but with the ways things are I don't know if you should be concerned about an eventual trade in issue or the EPA police, depending on where you live.
I have heard of just unplugging the EGR and leaving it in place but I have been told that there is issues of it getting clogged. If you would have to plug it back in, for whatever reason, that may be an issue.
I understand the advantage of the full DEF / EGR delete but what is the advantage of just the EGR? More power or fuel economy?

Sorry for the really late reply ssunit1. I would definitely do the dpf delete along with the egr. I have always done a full egr delete with block off plates and coolant re-route. But lately I have read of people just unplugging the egr and calling it good. Basically I was just questioning the best way to go about handling the egr. I have not heard of people plugging them up after having them unplugged but it does sound possible.
